The world isn't just black and white, go and read some history.
Are you saying that people who helped the underground railroad should have been jailed too? What about people who helped save lives during the holocaust?
Both admittedly extreme examples, but forcing someone to carry a child they do not want is unjust and cruel.
I think they're saying that they totally support a woman's right to an abortion if she needs/wants one and that apparently severe consequences (beyond the ones we're already experiencing) are the only thing they believe will get people to pull their heads out and stop voting for these monsters. They're definitely not saying they believe women who have abortions should be in jail. They're saying draconian abortion laws are ridiculous and if they were enforced with prison then conservatives might finally get it.
I don't necessarily agree with that stance but that's what I believe they are saying.
Yes with the additional caveat of when a country picks and chooses when to enforce laws and against whom, the laws are made up. If abortion is illegal, then it's illegal. Just like choosing to prosecute petty crimes mostly for minorities and ignoring them for others. Choosing to prosecute white collar crimes when there's a media outrage, but otherwise just paying a civil fine and forgetting about it. This means there isn't a justice system, it's rigged.
Many who vote to take rights away from people, are in a protected class of some kind where they believe it won't affect them. It will only affect people they don't care about, so who cares? Make them care.
Send all the daughters of suburban white women who are getting mail order abortion drugs illegally, to prison. Right to jail.
No. You have poor comprehension.
